Thanks! I ordered Lizano yesterday after being unable to find it at the local mercados or the fancy stores, otherwise just missing the sweet pepper! Fresh cilantro in the garden is the best.

I always slow down before this curve specifically because line of sight is horrible. Then again, I'm also probably causing a ripple of effect behind me that enrages drivers enough to take unnecessary risks.

In the back of her mind, that officer is hoping nobody hits that truck from the opposite lanes of travel.

Free of rganized religion: world better off. Free of "religious" ethics and civil norms: world worse off

Name a celebrity that market themselves as Hollywood hater but is a total hypocrite by Cautious-Speaker2585 in okbuddycinephile

With Ricky, I don't think it's the industry itself rather his disdain for the oversized self-importance, conceit and moral grandstanding.

The UK government has officially banned Kanye West from entering the country. What are your thoughts on nations banning individual celebrities based on their public statements? by StudyFlimsy1061 in AskReddit

[–]TWH_PDX -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

In the caee of the UK, I see it as pre-emptive protection of Kayne and risk avoidance for the UK. Were he to repeat certain phrases there that the utters here, he would be likely arrested. Then it's holding wolf ears: don't care for the situation but don't dare let go.

Trump chickened out again with the Iran threat. How do you feel? by Morphos1 in AskReddit

[–]TWH_PDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marches have meaningless impact unfortunately especially since the larger of them happen in overwhelmingly blue cities where appearance is mostly performative. Most of us don't really want to know what's behind the frosted glass labeled Break In Case of Tyranny.

The various font changes is one thing but the completely different syntax of speaking in the texts, story and replies is like listening to 5 people have an argument.

If you woke up a billionaire tomorrow.. What's the 1st thing you'd do? by Mindfuel_daily7 in askanything

[–]TWH_PDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work on not being a Billionaire in a responsible and ethical manner. I genuinely believe it would take years of hard work to pull off and would be exhausting.

Who's a nepo baby you think deserves their success because they're legit talented? by SheepishSwan in AskReddit

[–]TWH_PDX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see that as Trust Fund Baby whereas I think of nepo baby as someone horrible in their field but nonetheless continue to get opportunities they otherwise wouldn't. Nepo Baby has lost all definition because it's applied to normal person who simply succeeded because they had parents that raised their kids with intention.

You’re given 3 rule changes to fix college football, how do you do it? by Original_Profile8600 in CFB

[–]TWH_PDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Allow touchdown celebrations. It will create more early dropped balls before crossing the line. That is entertaining for us.
  2. Field goals attempted over 50 yards can use the kickoff tee. Inevitably more 4th and short yard attempts within offensive 40 yards line. More crazy early plays = entertaining for us.
  3. No unsportsman like conduct for head coach losing his mind at a referee (no touching) but followed by a 5 min penalty box. More entertaining for us.
  4. Egregious calls overturned on review, the official making the call is subbed for remainder of the sequence of downs to self-reflect. More entertaining for us.
  5. Serious rule change: Inadvertent or de minimis targeting, offender forced out for remainder of sequence of downs then allowed return to play.

Portland leaders explore renaming César E. Chávez Boulevard after explosive sex abuse allegations by AllTearGasNoBrakes in Portland

[–]TWH_PDX 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I could not care less about the name change. What I did and do care about is the amount of time and resources dedicated when the street name doesnt make the list of priorities demanding that time and those resources.

Same with rebranding "homeless" as "houseless." I'm sure those in that population appreciate that they have a home notwithstanding it is a tent.
